Determining Whether Dividends from Cdn Companies Qualified for IRS Purposes

Post by underwhelmed »

Does anyone know what criteria are used to determine whether dividends from Canadian companies are considered qualified for US tax purposes?

Is there a readily available list of Canadian large-cap companies whose dividends are considered qualified or non-qualified for US purposes?

Thanks.

yes dividend from large cap public companies would be treated as qualifying for US tax purposes and would be so indicated on the NR4 slips given to you at year end

Cdn residents do not get NR4 slips. Would it appear on the T5?

No CND taxpayers only get T5 or T3 and it would not appear, I was under the assumption the question was for a non resident if not then no NR4 is issued but if the taxpayer is located in the US they would get a NR4 and it would specify it

So, I guess the original question is still unanswered?
